What TV program/Film/DVD did you watch last night?


Recommended Posts

I watched Auf Wiedersehen Pet series one episode two.


Interesting parallels between Brits in the 80s forced to be gastarbeiters in Germany and the Poles working in Britain today.


Great dialogue as well when Neville chastises Oz for being ridiculously nationalistic for a country which can't even provide him with work.

Did a Bob and Terry (The Likely Lads) and managed to avoid all knowledge of the football results so I could enjoy Match Of The Day in a proper fashion. Only thing that upset me was Liverpool equalising in the dying seconds of extra-time against Spurs. Bah!

>>I'm slowly watching on DVD the original series of Heimat<<


I am a big fan of "Heimat", and have all three series on DVD. But the first series was truly magical and stands many repeated viewings...


Last night watched "The Sopranos" on TV - an amazing episode...

Watched

WRC Spain, which I had taped. C'mon Gronholm!!

The Rugby - Felt the cracked a bit with that last push forward.

Louis Theroux - Fascinating, though saddened he had lipo himself.


Got all my ironing done too, and with a new iron.* Good hole for water filling and no "choking" Grip was surprisingly chunky, even for my hand, though steam delivery was faultless. Ongoing test reports if required.

* I enjoy ironing, find it very theraputic. "Ironing Enthusuiast" as my nephew terms me...

BBC4, great doc on a chinese school class voting for their class monitor. it was a classic, brilliant fly on the wall doc. the kids were fantastic little politicians with their parents pushing from behind the scenes, but because they're all 8 years old any political duplicity was often followed with tears!


they're repeating it throughout the democracy season and it's on bbc on demand site: highly recommend you try and catch it.

i watched two films "the lives of others" about the stasi in east berlin in the cold war 80s quite an interesting piece,followed by "london to brighton" which is probably one of the most harrowing and uncomfortable british dramas i have ever seen,albeit with a bit of a predictible ending,its still however a very highly recommended film.

    • We looked at all the options, and  have in past years spent a fortune on cooking Christmas meals at home! But this was nearly £200 for two people for appalling food, without drinks, and I don't use the term appalling lightly     
    • Youngs pubs are notorious at ripping off the middle classes when it comes to Sunday dinners, even more so on Christmas Day. They are far worse than you could cook at home., but obviously 5 times the price. And then there are the mental drinks prices. People really ought to have wised up to this scam by now. 
    • The Secret Garden is great and delivers - excellent customer service and advice. I think the Nunhead Gardener is way too expensive and not sure they really know their stuff.  I hate to admit that I go online for plants but Gardening Express is just brilliant - great value for money (I used to use Crocus, which is extortionate and so many of their plants didn't make it) and their plants have grown like crazy since I got them. 
    • It is very much encouraged in the pubs of ED. Many of them resemble a genuine creche or nursery during the day, even on weekends. I couldnt believe the amount of buggies and colouring in going on in 'The Actress' one Saturday recently.  Later in the evening there will still be many children around, whether its eating expensive dinners or having a 'family gathering', the different coloured pencils and running around the premises will be still be evident.  After 8pm i think most pubs are empty. None of them seem to show sport anymore (except The Castle) which would have previosuly drawn in a crowd for Champions League matches, as most residents prefer rugby.
